Medical:

If you recorded that your child will need to have medication on camp, please bring this to school on camp morning. Michelle will be the teacher in charge of collecting all medication. All medication must be in a named zip lock bag. Please record the time of day and dosage your child will require the medication.

We will have Pamol in our medical kit. Therefore, students do not need to bring their own. We will only administer Pamol as needed and only to those children who have permission given on their consent form.

Please note: The morning of camp will be very busy. Teachers will not have time to discuss medication details with you. If this is a concern, please email Kristen or Georgia.

Teachers will read all medical information prior to camp morning.

Morning of camp:

• Students will need to be at school by 8:50am

• Students will bring all of their gear to the hall

• Students to leave their shoes on

We are looking forward to having an awesome camp experience with our year 3 & 4 students.

Kristen and Georgia
